Paula Curtis wants her students to have fun, enjoyment, and be creative in their riding. "I teach because I want riders to feel what is truly possible. If you can learn more about your horse, what motivates him and makes him interested in what you have to offer, then you can train effectively. Riding is about; feel, communication and partnership. Riders need to think from the horse's perspective, and work with the horse's mind."
